Momentum

This course is a challenge and you will be pushed everyday. It is like a work out but for your mind. The curriculum is transferable and the skills you learn will carry on with you to your next position.

I’m currently working in cloud services which uses... Read More a lot of different technologies than what I studied at Momentum. However, because I leaned the basic principles to software development and gained researching skills I was able to quickly learn at my new job.

Additionally, their career placement is awesome and they have an amazing network of folks you can get to know. They truly care about their students and help guide them in finding their new career.

Lastly, I would say my peers were amazing Y’all will end up helping each other so much. After I graduated I missed my cohort and I still stop in to say hello to the everyone . This is a great Bootcamp and you will be so happy that you made the choose to go with Momentum.

The software industry is rapidly changing, with stereotypes about developers rapidly being smashed. If you're trying to break into this industry, Momentum Learning will give you the start you need. Whether you have a little experience with code or no... Read More experience the immersive program will give you the technical tools to become a capable, confident, and skilled software engineer. What sets Momentum apart, however, are the non-technical skills I and others have gained: networking, interviewing soft-skills, and the ability to know *how* to learn code. I had no experience with code before starting the program, and in 3 months I could confidently say that I was a software engineer, and the career services support, which is arguably the most important part, was top-notch. There was never a time, during or after the program, that I didn't feel supported by the Momentum staff. If you're ready to take charge of your career, sign up for Momentum's immersive program today. You won't regret it!

One thing that really sets Momentum’s Immersive program apart is the network of software companies that are receptive to advising or hiring new developers. At the same time that I was learning new web development skills, I was meeting members of Momentum’s... Read More Advisory Board, visiting offices of local companies, and talking with past graduates about starting their careers. As a career changer, this was a huge value for me, as I was able to start getting an idea for where I wanted to take my career after finishing the program. This was enhanced by Momentum’s Career Services team, who suggested specific companies I should research or network with based on my interests and values. Before I graduated, I had a well-curated list of places I would be excited to work! I was excited to interview at multiple companies, each of which I had formed an in-person connection with before applying, which I believe had a huge impact in making it to final interview stages. Momentum’s Career Services continued to support me through my interviews, offering to give feedback or even just listen as I worked out my plans, and helping me to work through negotiation. Now nine months into my first software job, I am still growing both the coding knowledge and the network that I started as a Momentum student.

Fill up your coffee, buckle your seatbelt and be ready to dive right into the life of an engineer. Momentum's immersive class will not only teach you the fundamentals of code but how to problem-solve and continue expanding your depth of knowledge. The... Read More team is very well-connected in Durham and the surrounding areas and will help you build relationships with those in the field. Put your fear of intimidation to the side! I came into the class with no experience what-so-ever and although it was challenging I graduated with a Jr. Backend Developer certificate. This program allows you to make a career change in only three months and will set you up on a pathway for success. Thank you Momentum!

I was new to the area, and looking to make a career change into the Triangle’s Tech scene. Code school is a pricey proposition, but Momentum’s job placement guarantee and stellar reputation made the decision easy.

I got a solid education in HTML, CSS,... Read More Javascript, Python, Django, API design, agile methodologies and MINDSET. Industry leaders spoke to us about a range of topics. We were given opportunities for meaningful networking weekly, and given a personalized job plan. During the latter part of the program and afterwards, they will reach into deep industry relationships to set up more introductions for you to network and job hunt. (It’s who you know, right?)

This is a superlative program, and arms you with everything you need to go get a job at the end. Your outcome is what you make of it, but Momentum will make sure you are well positioned for success! I am thrilled with my decision to attend and would do it again.

Attending Momentum Learning's Immersive Coding program was one of the best decisions I ever made. It opened my eyes to the tech industry and all the opportunities in it.
Prior to attending Momentum, I had taught myself basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript (which... Read More is also covered in their Foundations course, if you'd like to try out development before committing to the full program). The instructors made sure my foundations were solid and introduced me to many practices that greatly improved my programming ability. As a Front End Development student, I learned how to work with Node.js, React.js, and many tools in the Node ecosystem.
The curriculum is not limited to technical skills. We regularly had guest speakers who discussed many of the soft skills required as a developer: Communication, Networking, Dealing with Imposter Syndrome, etc. Students are also given access to community events to help network within the American Underground.
They also offer Career Services, which I used to meet with former Momentum students, potential employers, and potential mentors. Many of these interactions led to job leads and more interviews.

Overall I'd recommend this program for both the complete newbie and beginner-intermediate developers looking to add more to their skill set.

The immersive class was strenuous and challenging, but worth it. I have tried for a long time to learn how to code on my or after work but always struggled to get far or learn challenging topics. Momentum gave me a place to learn and excel with a great... Read More group of peers, instructors and staff. On top of staff and instructors, there is a great network of volunteers and former grads that are always willing to help.

Not only will you learn the skills you need to start a career in software development, but you will have a chance to grow an incredible network with your peers and the introductions the team gives you!

Because of all that, I give everyone apart of the Momentum Family my respect and know that if any future graduates come out of the class will be prepared for junior roles and will happily talk to them and refer them to my company or introduce them to my network.

This was a great intro to web development, especially as a prep for the main immersion course. The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. We covered a lot but it was all manageable. We built a website our first day! We learned the basics of HTML,... Read More CSS, JavaScript and the terminal. Our teacher also gave us additional resources to research for further reading on each topics.

The immersive program is an ideal way to start a career as a software engineer. I had moved on from my previous job and was not having much success in figuring out what was next. I found Momentum and decided to take the dive. It could not have worked... Read More out better. While the prospect of an intense three months can be daunting, the way the curriculum designed and taught really helped me feel like I would be ready for my new career. The staff is amazing all around, but the career support and community/network that is built is probably the best part. There were people from all different professional and educational backgrounds in my cohort, some of us even starting from zero in terms of knowing code, and I feel that Momentum really put us in position to land our first jobs as a developer.

The Foundations classes were better than I could have ever expected. We covered A LOT in a short amount of time. Along with learning so many concepts, the instructors were more than helpful. Often times, they would go back over material or explain it... Read More differently just to make sure we fully understood what we were being taught. I’d recommend the Foundations classes to anyone looking to get a jump start on the basics of coding.
